Description
Die Erfindung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zur Führung von Paletten unterschiedlicher Größe im Bereich einer Ladefläche eines Frachtraumes eines Flugzeuges.The invention relates to a device for guiding pallets of different sizes in the area of a loading area of a cargo hold of an aircraft.
Derartige Vorrichtungen werden insbesondere parallel zu einer Einschubrichtung im Bereich von Frachtraumtüren angeordnet, um ein definiertes Einschieben von Lasten tragenden Paletten in den Frachtraum des Flugzeuges zu ermöglichen. Zur Berücksichtigung von unterschiedlichen Größen der Paletten ist es bekannt, Führungselemente jeweils geeignet im Bereich des Laderaumbodens anzuordnen. Es ist ebenfalls möglich, eine Mehrzahl von Führungselementen neben- bzw. hintereinander anzuordnen und jeweils für einen aktuellen Beladungsvorgang nicht benötigte bzw. störende Leitelement zu entfernen.Devices of this type are in particular arranged parallel to an insertion direction in the area of cargo hold doors in order to enable a defined insertion of load-bearing pallets into the cargo hold of the aircraft. In order to take into account different sizes of the pallets, it is known to arrange guide elements in a suitable manner in the region of the loading space floor. It is also possible to arrange a plurality of guide elements next to or behind one another and to remove any disruptive or disruptive guide element for a current loading process.
Eine derartige Arbeitsweise bedingt jedoch einen hohen Arbeitsaufwand. Darüber hinaus lassen sich die Führungselemente nicht in ausreichender Weise mit einem geringen Abstand zueinander anordnen. Gerade die Ausnutzung des Frachtraumes sowie die Ermöglichung kurzer Ladezeiten bestimmt jedoch wesentlich die für eine jeweilige Beförderung anfallenden Kosten.However, such a procedure requires a lot of work. In addition, the guide elements cannot be adequately arranged at a short distance from one another. However, it is precisely the use of the cargo space and the possibility of short loading times that essentially determine the costs incurred for each transport.
Aufgabe der vorliegenden Erfindung ist es daher, eine Vorrichtung der einleitend genannten Art derart zu konstruieren, daß zur Führung von Paletten unterschiedlicher Größe erforderliche Führungselemente mit einem geringen Abstand zueinander angeordnet werden können und eine automatische Versenkung eines der Führungselemente im Laderaumboden bei einer Handhabung von Paletten großer räumlicher Ausdehnung mit geringem Aufwand ermöglicht wird.The object of the present invention is therefore to construct a device of the type mentioned in the introduction in such a way that guide elements required for guiding pallets of different sizes can be arranged at a short distance from one another and an automatic sinking of one of the guide elements in the loading space floor when handling large pallets spatial expansion is made possible with little effort.
Diese Aufgabe wird erfindungsgemäß dadurch gelöst, daß quer zu einer Transportrichtung der in den Frachtraum gelangenden Paletten ein vorderes und ein hinteres verschwenkbares Führungselement hintereinander angeordnet sind, jedes der Führungselemente einen eine jeweils zugeordnete Palette bereichsweise übergreifenden Vorsprung aufweist und im Bereich von Leitflächen mit die Palette beaufschlagenden Leitrollen versehen ist, das vordere Führungselement in eine seine Leitfläche nach unten orientierende Richtung und das hintere Führungselement in eine seine Leitfläche nach oben orientierende Richtung verdrehend verschwenkbar ist und das vordere Führungselement mindestens einen in die Transportrichtung der Palette weisenden Überrollbügel aufweist, der das Führungselement bei einer Gewichtsbeaufschlagung in den Bereich eines Laderaumbodens hineinverschwenkt.This object is achieved in that a front and a rear pivotable guide element are arranged one behind the other transversely to a direction of transport of the pallets entering the cargo hold, each of the guide elements has a projection which overlaps a respective assigned pallet in some areas and acts on the pallet in the area of guide surfaces Guide rollers is provided, the front guide element is pivotable in a direction oriented downward its guide surface and the rear guide element can be pivoted in a direction oriented upward its guide surface, and the front guide element has at least one roll bar pointing in the transport direction of the pallet, which has the guide element at one Weighting pivoted into the area of a load floor.
Durch die Anordnung von zwei Führungselementen hintereinander wird es ermöglicht, Paletten unterschiedlicher Größe jeweils exakt zu führen. Der Abstand der Führungselemente wird in Abhängigkeit von den unterschiedlichen Dimensionierungen der Paletten gewählt. Mit Hilfe der die Paletten übergreifenden Vorsprünge wird ein Abheben der Palette vom Laderaumboden und damit ein Verrutschen von auf den Paletten transportierter Ladung verhindert. Bei einer Führung einer kleinen Palette wird diese vom vorderen Führungselement geleitet. Bei einer Handhabung einer großen Palette gelangt diese zunächst in den Bereich des Überrollbügels und verschwenkt durch eine Gewichtsbelastung des Überrollbügels das vordere Führungselement in den Bereich des Laderaumbodens hinein. Dadurch, daß die Verschwenkung derart erfolgt, daß nach einer Durchführung der Verschwenkung die Leitfläche nach unten weist, wird eine Behinderung des hinteren Führungselementes durch diesen Verschwenkvorgang vermieden. Gleichfalls erfolgt bei einer Verschwenkung des hinteren Führungselementes durch die gewählte Verschwenkrichtung keine Beeinträchtigung des vorderen Führungselementes. Die Führungselemente lassen sich dadurch mit einem sehr geringen Abstand zueinander anordnen. Zur Vermeidung von die Führungselemente belastenden Reibungskräften sind die Leitrollen vorgesehen. Es wird somit eine Führung der Paletten ohne großen Kraftaufwand ermöglicht. Diese Herabsetzung von Kraftbelastungen ermöglicht eine sehr leichte Konstruktion der Führungselemente sowie der erforderlichen Schwenklager.The arrangement of two guide elements one behind the other makes it possible to precisely guide pallets of different sizes. The distance between the guide elements is selected depending on the different dimensions of the pallets. With the help of the projections overlapping the pallets, the pallet is lifted off the floor of the loading space and thus prevents the cargo transported on the pallets from slipping. When a small pallet is guided, it is guided by the front guide element. When handling a large pallet, it first reaches the area of the roll bar and, due to a weight load on the roll bar, pivots the front guide element into the area of the loading space floor. The fact that the pivoting takes place in such a way that after the pivoting has been carried out the guide surface points downward, obstruction of the rear guide element is avoided by this pivoting process. Likewise, when the rear guide element is pivoted by the selected pivoting direction, there is no impairment of the front guide element. The guide elements can thus be arranged at a very small distance from one another. The guide rollers are provided in order to avoid frictional forces loading the guide elements. This enables the pallets to be guided without great effort. This reduction in force loads enables the guide elements and the required swivel bearings to be constructed very easily.
Im nachstehenden werden einige bevorzugten Merkmale der Erfindung angegeben.Some preferred features of the invention are set forth below.
Zur Gewährleistung sowohl einer einfachen Überfahrbarkeit des Überrollbügels als auch einer leichten Ausführungsform wird vorgeschlagen, daß der Überrollbügel im wesentlichen aus einem in Transportrichtung der Paletten weisenden Basissegment sowie aus sich angewinkelt zum Basissegment erstreckenden Schenkeln ausgebildet ist.To ensure both easy rollability of the roll bar and easy Embodiment is proposed that the roll bar is formed essentially from a base segment pointing in the transport direction of the pallets and from legs extending at an angle to the base segment.
Insbesondere ist daran gedacht, daß sich die Schenkel mit einem Winkel von etwa 45 Grad zum Basissegment erstrecken.In particular, it is contemplated that the legs extend at an angle of approximately 45 degrees to the base segment.
Die Auflauffähigkeit einer Palette wird dadurch verbessert, daß die Schenkel ausgehend von einer dem hinteren Führungselement zugewandten Orientierung in Richtung auf die Leitfläche des vorderen Führungselementes schräg nach unten weisen.The palpability of a pallet is improved in that the legs point obliquely downwards from an orientation facing the rear guide element in the direction of the guide surface of the front guide element.
Eine Verbesserung der Montageeigenschaften kann dadurch erreicht werden, daß die Führungselemente auf einem gemeinsamen Träger angeordnet sind, der die Führungselemente halternde Schwenklager trägt.An improvement in the assembly properties can be achieved in that the guide elements are arranged on a common carrier which carries the pivot elements holding the guide elements.
Eine universelle Montierbarkeit mit geringem Arbeitsaufwand wird dadurch erzielt, daß der Träger von Halterungselementen im Bereich von Sitzschienen fixierbar ist, die im Bereich des Laderaumbodens verlegt sind.A universal assembly with little effort is achieved in that the carrier of mounting elements can be fixed in the area of seat rails, which are laid in the area of the cargo area floor.
Zur Verringerung von Reibungskräften im Bereich der Führungselemente wird vorgeschlagen, daß im Bereich jeder der Leitflächen jeweils zwei Leitrollen angeordnet sind.To reduce frictional forces in the area of the guide elements, it is proposed that two guide rollers are arranged in the area of each of the guide surfaces.
Eine Überfahrbarkeit des hinteren Führungselementes und eine ausreichende Sicherung in einer Arbeitspositionierung wird dadurch unterstützt, daß das hintere Führungselement in einer Arbeitspositionierung von einem Arretierungsbügel fixiert ist, der mit einer Rastnase eine Verriegelungskante des hinteren Führungselementes hintergreift.A traversability of the rear guide element and sufficient securing in a working position is supported in that the rear guide element is fixed in a working position by a locking bracket, which with a locking lug Reaches behind the locking edge of the rear guide element.
Eine einfache manuelle Betätigung bzw. eine Fußbetätigung des hinteren Führungselementes kann dadurch erreicht werden, daß der Arretierungsbügel verschwenkbar angeordnet ist.A simple manual actuation or foot actuation of the rear guide element can be achieved in that the locking bracket is arranged pivotably.
Zur Verbesserung der Betriebseigenschaften der Führungselemente wird vorgeschlagen, daß mindestens eines der Führungselemente von einer Federvorspannung beaufschlagbar ist.To improve the operating properties of the guide elements, it is proposed that at least one of the guide elements be acted upon by a spring preload.

Eine Vorrichtung zur Führung von Paletten besteht im wesentlichen aus einem vorderen Führungselement (1) und einem hinteren Führungselement (2). Das vordere Führungselement (1) weist ein Schwenklager (3) und das hintere Führungselement (2) ein Schwenklager (4) auf. In einer Arbeitspositionierung sind die Führungselemente (1,2) mit Leitflächen (5,6) im wesentlichen senkrecht zu einem Laderaumboden (7) orientiert. In einer Ruhepositionierung weist das vordere Führungselement (1) mit seiner Leitfläche (5) im wesentlichen nach unten und das hintere Führungselement (2) weist in einer Ruhepositionierung mit seiner Leitfläche (6) im wesentlichen nach oben.A device for guiding pallets essentially consists of a front guide element (1) and a rear guide element (2). The front guide element (1) has a pivot bearing (3) and the rear guide element (2) has a pivot bearing (4). In a working position, the guide elements (1, 2) with guide surfaces (5, 6) are oriented essentially perpendicular to a load compartment floor (7). In a rest position, the front guide element (1) essentially has its guide surface (5) downwards and the rear guide element (2) points in a rest position with its guide surface (6) essentially upwards.
Zur ausreichenden Sicherung der zu führenden Paletten gegen ein Abheben vom Laderaumboden (7) sind die Führungselemente (1,2) mit Vorsprüngen (8,9) versehen, die die Paletten bereichsweise übergreifen. Zur Verringerung von Reibkräften sind Leitrollen (10,11) vorgesehen.In order to adequately secure the pallets to be guided against being lifted off the loading space floor (7), the guide elements (1, 2) are provided with projections (8, 9) which overlap the pallets in certain areas. Guide rollers (10, 11) are provided to reduce frictional forces.
Die Schwenklager (3,4) sind im Bereich eines in den Laderaumboden (7) versenkbaren Trägers (12) angeordnet, der über Halterungselemente (13) in Sitzschienen (14) des Laderaumbodens (7) fixiert werden kann. Die Halterungselemente (13) können beispielsweise als Verschraubungen ausgebildet sein.The pivot bearings (3, 4) are arranged in the area of a support (12) which can be lowered into the loading space floor (7) and which can be fixed in seat rails (14) of the loading space floor (7) by means of mounting elements (13). The mounting elements (13) can be designed, for example, as screw connections.
Das vordere Führungselement (1) weist einen Überrollbügel (15) auf, der aus einem Basissegment (16) und Schenkeln (17,18) ausgebildet ist. Die Schenkel (17,18) erstrecken sich angewinkelt zum Basissegment (16). Es kann beispielsweise ein Winkel von 45 Grad realisiert werden. Ausgehend von einer dem hinteren Führungselement (2) zugewandten Ausdehnung weisen die Schenkel (17,18) in Richtung auf die Leitfläche (1) schräg nach unten und tauchen mit Endbereichen in den Laderaumboden (7) hinein. Hierdurch wird ein Auflaufen von Paletten auf den Überrollbügel (15) erleichtert.The front guide element (1) has a roll bar (15) which is formed from a base segment (16) and legs (17, 18). The legs (17, 18) extend at an angle to the base segment (16). For example, an angle of 45 degrees can be realized. Starting from an extension facing the rear guide element (2), the legs (17, 18) point obliquely downwards in the direction of the guide surface (1) and end areas dip into the cargo area floor (7). This makes it easier for pallets to run onto the roll bar (15).
Das hintere Führungselement (2) wird von einem Arretierungsbügel (19) in seiner Arbeitspositionierung fixiert. Der Arretierungsbügel (19) ist dazu verschwenkbar gelagert und weist eine Rastnase (20) auf. Die Rastnase (20) greift hinter eine Verriegelungskante (21) des hinteren Führungselementes (2). Durch diesen Hintergriff wird ein Abrutschen des Arretierungsbügels (19) vom hinteren Führungselement (2) verhindert. Zur Ermöglichung einer einfachen Verschwenkbarkeit des hinteren Führungselementes (2) in seine Ruhepositionierung kann ein Federelement (22) vorgesehen werden.The rear guide element (2) is fixed in its working position by a locking bracket (19). The locking bracket (19) is pivotally mounted and has a locking lug (20). The locking lug (20) engages behind a locking edge (21) of the rear guide element (2). Through this The rear grip prevents the locking bracket (19) from slipping off the rear guide element (2). A spring element (22) can be provided to enable the rear guide element (2) to be easily pivoted into its rest position.
Bei einer Handhabung einer großen Palette wird diese zunächst in den Bereich des Überrollbügels (15) geführt und verschwenkt das vordere Führungselement (1) in den Bereich des Laderaumbodens (7) hinein. Das vordere Führungselement (1) kann hierdurch überfahren werden. Die Leitfunktionen werden vom hinteren Führungselement (2) durchgeführt. Um eine Positionierung der Palette über das hintere Führungselement (2) hinaus zu ermöglichen, kann der Arretierungsbügel (19) beispielsweise manuell oder durch Fußbetätigung aus dem Bereich der Verriegelungskante (21) herauspositioniert werden und anschließend kann das hintere Führungselement (2) in den Bereich des Laderaumbodens (7) hineinverschwenkt werden. Nach einer derartigen Verschwenkung beider Führungselemente (1,2) sind keine Elemente vorhanden, die über eine obere Begrenzung (23) des Laderaumbodens (7) hinausragen.When handling a large pallet, it is first guided into the area of the roll bar (15) and pivots the front guide element (1) into the area of the loading space floor (7). The front guide element (1) can thereby be run over. The control functions are carried out by the rear guide element (2). In order to enable the pallet to be positioned beyond the rear guide element (2), the locking bracket (19) can be positioned out of the area of the locking edge (21), for example manually or by foot actuation, and the rear guide element (2) can then be moved into the area of the Loading space floor (7) are pivoted into it. After such pivoting of the two guide elements (1, 2), there are no elements which protrude beyond an upper boundary (23) of the load compartment floor (7).
